Description
In this talk we consider the phenomenology of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) models in which the supersymmetry-breaking parameters are unified at a scale below the GUT scale. After a brief review of the so-called GUT-less constrained MSSM (CMSSM), we turn to a GUT-less version of mSUGRA. Of particular interest are GUT-less Polonyi models. The possibility that the recent ATLAS and CMS results may be compatible with a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV is addressed. The dark matter candidate may be either the gravitino or the lightest neutralino. In the latter case, we discuss the prospects for direct detection via elastic scattering on nuclei.
